Alexander chords by I Said Yes

Intro: C E F G (2x)

verse 1
         C                    E
Getting high at a quarter to nine
         F                            G
And you throwing all your favourite lines
          C                              E
And that red-head said he's living with you
         F                   G
And he copies everything you do...

         C                      E
And you throw your California smile
         F                         G
And you warn me this could take a while
         C                         E
So while you think of something to do
     F                           G
I'm thinking I could stick with you

              C                       E
Cause you're great Alexander, you're great Alexander
        F                    G
You've made up a name for yourself
               C                    E
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
        F                    G
You've made up a name for yourself

Interlude
F G

verse 2
      C                       E
In a town at the edge of the Nile
       F                    G
I can see that California smile
           C                          E
There's a boat with your name on the side
         F                        G
And it waits for the turn of the tide

      C                     E
In between your Casino and mine
       F                           G
I can see that there's a delicate line
             C               E
And I can't tell our voices apart
             F                   G
And I can't tell your life from art

           C                  E
You're a ghost Alexander, at most Alexander
        F                    G
You've made up a name for yourself
              C                    E
Cause you're great Alexander, The Great Alexander
         F                          G
You're still sitting there on the shelf...

            C
Cause you threw me California
      E
The Great California
  F                       G
Ring me when you've had enough of California
           C
You're a ghost Alexander
      E
The Great Alexander
        F                    G
You've made up a name for yourself, Alexander

      C
The first Alexander
      E                     F                                     G
The Great, Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate, Alexander
      C
You threw me California
         E                   F                              G
I can't beat Alexander, the Great's, the only man that you hate
